Description

Tiffany and his designers brought the garden inside with their floral lamp designs. They also re-created the ever-changing qualities of natural light using the light and dark tonal effects of the glass when illuminated with electric lamps. This night and day version of the Peony shade could be rotated during the day to increase or decrease the amount of light it cast—intense reds for a darker glow at night, lighter pinks during the day.
Table lamp with a colorful, peony flower patterned glass lampshade over a bronze body shaped like a bamboo stem. The lamp shade, a shallow dome rising subtly to a point over the lamp, is patterned with pink peony flowers over a blue and green background. Winding, dark lines connect the various pieces of glass together, light from the bulb within highlighting the glass's striated shades. Two bands of rectangular, red glass pieces circle the edge.
